Description
The Dream Stitcher by Deborah Gaal is a historical fiction novel that spans two decades and continents. In 2008, Maude Fields takes in her estranged mother, Bea, who brings with her a mysterious needlepoint replica of the Bayeux Tapestry. As Maude delves into the tapestry's secrets, she uncovers clues about her family's past and her own identity. In World War II-era Warsaw, Poland, Goldye is a Jewish freedom fighter known as the Dream Stitcher. She possesses the ability to embroider dreams that come true and uses this skill to help those in need. As she navigates the treacherous landscape of war-torn Europe, Goldye's past and present begin to intertwine with Maude's. This novel weaves together two seemingly disparate stories, exploring themes of identity, family, and the power of art to shape reality.
